Falwell Is Not Great

In many cynical little ways, I agree with the premise of Christopher Hitchens book: God Is Not Great. I probably share many of the reasons he has for being anti-religion. So, it is no surprise that he'd be one of the first to speak ill of the dead Jerry Falwell. I've still been waiting for his body to cool off a little before chiming in so I'll just let others do the talking. This is funny and on point.

HITCHENS: The empty life of this ugly little charlatan proves only one thing: that you can get away with the most extraordinary offenses to morality and to truth in this country if you will just get yourself called Reverend.

Who would, even at your network, have invited on such a little toad to tell us that the attacks of September the 11th were the result of our sinfulness and were God's punishment if they hadn't got some kind of clerical qualification?

People like that should be out in the street, shouting and hollering with a cardboard sign and selling pencils from a cup.

Well? Let the church say Amen!
